The future of “Doubling Down With The Derricos” has become a hot topic as tensions reach a boiling point following Karen and Deon Derrico’s recent divorce. Fans were left in shock as this season of the TLC show revealed numerous moments of disagreement between the seemingly perfect couple.
From fights over the house to disputes regarding their daughter Darian’s education, harmony was far from present in their relationship. Ultimately, their differences led to a divorce, casting a shadow over the future of the show. With declining ratings and waning popularity, the question arises: Will there even be a Season 6 of “Doubling Down With The Derricos”? Let’s delve into the inside scoop.
Cancellation rumors surrounding the show are not entirely new. TLC fans previously faced a similar situation when the show was on the verge of being shelved. In September 2023, Deon warned fans that their family show was in danger of cancellation and encouraged them to participate in a forum to bring it back for another season. Fortunately, their efforts paid off, and Season 5 was aired.
However, the current circumstances differ. Deon and Karen’s divorce in June sparked speculations that the show might come to an end. Fans believed that without the main couple together, “Doubling Down With The Derricos” would lose its appeal. Nonetheless, the show has always revolved around their children, their upbringing, and their daily lives, not solely focused on the couple. Hence, there is still hope for another season.
Nevertheless, the show has been struggling with low ratings. Season 5 ranked 48th out of the Top 50 cable shows, while similar shows like “OutDaughtered” secured a higher position at 26th, according to The TVRatingsGuide. Consequently, the future of “Doubling Down With The Derricos” remains uncertain, as TLC might consider canceling it due to its underwhelming viewership. Moreover, TLC has yet to announce a renewal, leaving Karen Derrico in a vulnerable position. As she is currently unemployed and receives only $1,166 in child support, the fate of the show significantly impacts her. In contrast, Deon continues to work in real estate.
